You can also add a link in an Office 365 document library to an item that is located outside the document library.

When you add a link in a document library, the link shows up in the list of items in that library with a web globe icon to identify it as a linked item.<\/p>\n<p>To help you find and manage items, you can now sort and filter columns. In addition, new, real-time full-text search results appear directly in the document library experience along with quick, inline metadata management. And finally, when the team needs to bring in files from OneDrive for Business or publish files between document libraries, users can click <strong>Move to<\/strong> or <strong>Copy to<\/strong> move or copy files to other locations across Office 365, without generating unnecessary versions of the same files.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-227927\" src=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2016\/05\/SharePoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet-5-1024x590-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2016\/05\/SharePoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet-5-1024x590-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2016\/05\/SharePoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet-5-1024x590-1-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2016\/05\/SharePoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet-5-1024x590-1-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The new modern document library experience, showing two documents and a link pinned to the top.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/article\/What-is-a-document-library-3b5976dd-65cf-4c9e-bf5a-713c10ca2872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how SharePoint Online document libraries have been updated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern Lists experience<\/strong>\u2014And what about managing structured data in SharePoint Online Lists?

What mobile platforms are planned for the new SharePoint app and when can we expect them? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> We are building the SharePoint app for Windows, Android and iOS. We will ship the SharePoint app for iOS by end of the first half of 2016, followed by Windows and Android versions by end of the second half of 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Can I use the SharePoint app for online and on-premises? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Yes. The SharePoint app will connect to your environment whether you are using SharePoint Online in Office 365, SharePoint 2013 or 2016 on-premises, as well as with hybrid deployments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. When and how can I expect to see the new SharePoint home in Office 365? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> We will begin rolling out the new SharePoint home page within the next few weeks, initially to First Release customers and then into the worldwide production environment. Once the new SharePoint home is available to an Office 365 customer tenant, the existing <strong>Sites<\/strong> tile in the Office 365 app launcher will become the <strong>SharePoint<\/strong> tile and the main, top-navigation will say <strong>Office 365<\/strong> &gt; <strong>SharePoint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Will every Office 365 Group get a full SharePoint team site? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Yes. When you create a new site from SharePoint home, you are asked to give it a title, assign the proper form of usage classification and assign appropriate members. When you add members during site provisioning, you are creating a new Office 365 Group into the tenant\u2019s Azure Active Directory (AAD). Existing Office 365 Groups will also get a full SharePoint team site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Can I adjust the default experience for SharePoint Online document libraries from new or classic and back?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Yes.
